Russia's parliament on Tuesday approved a bill to toughen punishments for a host of crimes such as desertion, damage to military property and insubordination if they are committed during military mobilisation or combat situations.
The bill, passed in its second and third readings on Tuesday by the lower house of parliament, the Duma, comes amid debate inside Russia about a possible mobilisation

According to my favorite Ukraine Telegram channel Mi-6 has informed Ukraine that Russia is planning to escalate. Hopefully, Mi-6 is as wrong about this as they have been about most other things during this conflict.

MI-6 provided intelligence to the Office of the President that the Kremlin is deliberately raising the stakes on the case of referendums in the occupied territories of Donetsk/Luhansk/Zaporozhye/Kherson regions. Russia is ready to introduce a standing army and use tactical nuclear weapons after annexing these territories to itself.
Cancer boy Putin looking extra bloated on TV today. Chemo in Sochi didn’t go so good for him this past weekend?
Bring back the NKVD blocking detachments and punitive units. A “not one step back” order would help too.
At least they ain’t shooting mofos for retreating on the battlefield or welding hatches on tanks to make sure the tank crews can get out.........
can’t get out.
Ask people who lived in Hawaii what life was like during WW2.
So, they try to spread that disinformation however they can, using everything from YouTube channels, to posters on American message boards.
—”Bring back the NKVD blocking detachments and punitive units. A “not one step back” order would help too.”
When do you think they will be taking any conscripts from Moscow and Saint Petersburg? The two largest cities in Russia.
Currently, they only take a handful from each city in order to avoid any returning troops from talking to the neighbors or worse in a box.
Just would not look good.
“Official statistics for the 2001 fall conscription period show that between 50 and 60 percent of all young men processed by Moscow draft boards had an education-related right to deferral, 30 percent were declared unfit for military service, and 2 percent received a deferral based on their family situation. It is unclear what percentage of Muscovites of conscription age simply ignored draft summonses, served properly or not, in the fall of 2001, but according to official statistics about 10,000 Muscovites failed to appear at military recruitment offices for conscription proceedings.31 According to the Soldiers’ Mothers of St. Petersburg, a similar situation exists in St. Petersburg.”
.
“A Ministry of Defense official told a press conference in April 2002 that in 2001, doctors on draft boards found no less than 54 percent of the young men tested unfit for military service”
Because Russia’s youth is wracked with poor health, and because many of Russia’s most healthy and educated young men successfully manage to avoid military service, recruitment officials are often left to select conscripts from a group of young men with low education levels and sometimes serious health problems. An unidentified Russian lawmaker told The Moscow Times that, in a speech to the State Duma, Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said the young men drafted in the fall of 2001 were a “pathetic lot, afflicted with drug addiction, psychological problems and malnutrition.”35 Ministry of Defense statistics indicate that every second conscript had an alcohol problem prior to entering service, and that every fourth had been a drug user.36

So looks like we are heading to nuclear midnight.
As an aside, I hear rumors that a lot of US units are heading to Europe.
This is going to be interesting....

referendum will be in the LDNR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.
The referendum will be in electronic form, because there is a risk of physical destruction of polling stations, which will become the number 1 goal for the Office of the President, we wrote about this back on August 9 .
It should be understood that Putin was in no hurry with the referendum, as the European leaders promised him that they would put pressure on Zelensky and there would be peace negotiations, but now everyone knows that there will be no negotiations, the “ spring story ” is being repeated, which means that the rules of the game are changing, the stakes are rising .
Remember one nuance, the increase in rates by the Kremlin means that now there will be no negotiations, up to the capitulation of one or the other side. Also, this will mean the use of a wider range of weapons and the declaration of official war.
Previously, it was still possible to organize a certain “Minsk-3”, but after the referendums it will no longer be possible.
It does not mean anything good for the civilian population. Life will become even more difficult, and more devastation.
